Ok, so I did some research that the Mayans said that the world is going to end in 2012. What do they mean by that.
Will the world explode?
Will we start a new generation?
What is it && also leave me some information about this 2012 End Of The World stuff cause I wanna know if this is true or not?

Mayan Calender comes to an end in 2012...not the world, although some have pointed to this as a sign...(laugh) Consider the fact that the Mayan Calender was used for astronomical purposes...most of the Mayan Codex was destroyed by the Spanish when they invaded..Even today with the glyphs we have decoded we are not completely sure what all of them mean.
So, does the calender really end at that 2012 or did we just lose a few of the pages!
There are many theories about the end of the world and most cultures have end time stories...and one thing is most important to remember....in every case of prediction so far...the date has come loudly and gone just as quietly to be replaced by yet another one....Have a Happy end time...and Y2K..was the last one we were all stocking up on toilet paper and can goods for!

Okay, it isn't the WORLD (per se) that is scheduled to end in 2012 - it is the Mayan Calendar. Many believe that the end of the cycle in 2012 is going to signal a radical change in life on earth. No one knows what this will be but the literal end of earth is not what most say is predictedby this. There have been questions as answers on this before, I would suggest checking the Answers archives for more info.

The Mayan God Kukulcan "feathered searpent" will rise up from the ballcourt at Chichen Itza and engulf the world with flames, i've been there its quite beautiful and it does make you wonder about the superstition especially when your in the middle, and all around you is a miracle of an ancient civilization

I'm not knowledgeable enough to really give you a good answer. I have heard that all the electrical appliances in our homes will suddenly turn on us and kill us. I'm not sure how. I'm not sure where you live, but in the States sometimes they will run a special on the end of the world, usually on A&E, Discovery or the History channel. I found it to be fascinating and very informative.
I've just forgotten what I watched!
